FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, ensure all closures are secured to prevent water entry from the top.
What does 'Electrical Hazard Safe' mean?
It means the boots are constructed with secondary, electrical shock-resistant soles and heels, designed to reduce the flow of dangerous electrical currents from the ground up through the wearer. This is a safety feature, not a guarantee against electrical shock.
How do I maintain the leather and mesh upper?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For the leather parts, occasional use of a leather conditioner will help maintain its condition. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
While they are designed for work, their comfort features and styling can make them suitable for casual wear, especially if you value durability and support.
What is the 'Relaxed Fit' design?
Relaxed Fit means there is more room in the toe box and forefoot for comfort, without compromising the security of the heel fit.
How do I clean the Memory Foam insole?
The Memory Foam insole can typically be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting into the boot.
What is the shaft height of these boots?
The shaft height is approximately 4 inches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods indoors with thicker socks to break them in. The Relaxed Fit design should offer ample space, but individual foot shapes vary.
Water seeping through despite being waterproof
Check for any visible damage to the waterproof membrane or stitching. Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry from the top. Persistent issues may indicate a defect.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, oil, or debris that could be compromising grip. The slip-resistant properties are most effective when the tread is clear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather and mesh upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, especially after exposure to water or harsh conditions.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole treads regularly to maintain optimal grip. Remove any embedded debris.
